Brighton oppose Premier League plan to play at neutral venues

Brighton chief executive Paul Barber has said he is against the Premier League's plan to finish the 2019-20 season at neutral venues.

With the league suspended since March due to the coronavirus pandemic, clubs met on Friday to try and determine a way to finish out the campaign.

After the meeting the Premier League reiterated its desire to finish the 2019-20 season, but said no decision had been made yet.

One of the items discussed at the meeting was the prospect of finishing the season in a limited number of neutral venues to help ensure social distancing policies are maintained.
